Re: rswgame 2.0?

I've been thinking along browser lines also. Maybe Java/Javascript? It would certainly handle any graphics needed. I'd be happy to collaborate on anything that arises. Although I'd be less than a novice at either language. Have a look at the Coding Train on YouTube. It has numerous examples of live ...

Re: WTF - I have been turfed oiut of a game??

Here are the emails I got from the server : 1. A player has withdrawn from RSW game drove7p. You may take over the position if you like. 2. A player has withdrawn from RSW game scrutiny9s. You may take over the position if you like. It is correct for 1, but not for 2. I fired up the RSW client and i...

WTF - I have been turfed oiut of a game??

I just got notification that I have withdrawn from scrutiny9s !! I did NOT ask for this, I did try to drop from another game I was losing, but not scrutiny9s. I think this happened because the concede option if too smart by far. It says hey things arn't that bad, play on, I wont let you quit. I real...

Server appears to have crashed

I just entered my orders for game Drove7p, and it appears to be stuck. I have received the correct turn files via email though.

Re: Client keeps crashing

Not trying to be a smarty, but, you could try my client. It's very much tailored to my way of playing, but works well for me. There is much more hands on needed to use it, but you could test and see. It requires a Windows machine(mine is Win7), but XP would also be ok. I run it at a resolution of 25...

Re: What do we need to do to find new players?????

I'd like to, but never put the effort into it. It's mostly Hearts and Spades. A few years ago the was a game (email) called Imperial Expansion. I did contact the creator a few years back and asked for the code. But he has disappeared and never followed through with his code. I have a set of rules fo...

Re: What do we need to do to find new players?????

I play a few online cards games. I've already started dropping the web site URL to them. Maybe a few more promos on various social sites?

Re: The 51% Parameter--the RADIUS PARADOX

I definitely agree with making me the winner. :D Perhaps there should be a modification to the 51% worlds option to make the achiever of that goal the winner, and IGNORE the scores. After all one would assume half a galaxy ownership would be sufficient. As to voting on scores.... maybe, if the score...

Very sad to hear this. He was well ahead of his time, he even pioneered the play by email with Starweb too.

Re: Pandora's Box Phenomenon

I can now report on the game I just won. Partly due to the Pandora Box effect (sorry e3imiags) which intimidated and scared off my opponent (It was a two player game, each with 2 positions). It basically lied to both of us, but as I owned it I could see what it was doing!!!! I had a fleet of 2 ships...
